Goodyear program helps veterans

Sept. 27, 2004

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is extending assistance to American veterans through a U.S. Savings Bond promotional program as part of its "Goodyear American Dream Tire Sale," which runs through October 9.

With the purchase of selected Goodyear tires, consumers will receive a

$50 U.S. Savings Bond.

Proceeds from select tire purchases will go directly to Veterans Foundation Inc. (VFI), a national, non-profit organization.

"We couldn´t be happier to be a part of Goodyear´s U.S. Savings Bond

program," says Harry Shaw, president and CEO of VFI.
